- Persephone and Hades - A Mother's Rage
This is the tale of Persephone and Hades, but also about Demeter, the gods and the seasons. Told by Persephone, Demeter and Hades himself, we explore the events that lead to the relationship between Hades and Persephone forming.
Also a lesson about the seasons, and how the myths explain natural phenomena in the world.
But also about the power that worship and prayer hold...
Living Mythology is an attempt to entertain, relax and educate all in the one place. We are trying to forge narratives so that people can experience the religions and mythologies of the world as they were meant to be. Not as dry academic monoliths, but as living breathing tales and parables as experienced by the peoples who worshipped these beings, in an attempt to make sense of their own lives and the world around them.
This channel is in its infancy, so we hope to improve and develop it as we gain more experience.
All of the tales are taken from very conflicting traditions across many centuries, so there will be many a moment when decisions need to be made to create a more cohesive narrative. If we present something that seems to be in contrast to details, rest assured we have researched many forms of the traditions and come to the conclusions we have done to form the videos.
There will NEVER be total agreement on any of these narratives due to the history and differing ways they developed over the centuries.
These videos are for entertainment and an easy gateway to the subject. If you wish more academic details then please direct your attention to the wide source material and others who perform those types of academic video essays.

This couple needs to have their own movie!
Heck ya
I've seen shows that have episodes about this couple, but they do need a full movie. Not a long one, mind you, but it needs a bit more....fleshing out.
Its crazy how most people perceives Hades to be the villain in this story but in actuality he did as was custom at the time...he got permission from her father, his brother, Zeus to have her hand in marriage. So when he gave his blessing, Persephone was HIS property now.
Wild right?!
- Lightbringer
I like the different was the story turns out and I really like the “chaos”music when hades first appears. It seems like he was a bad guy at first and just turns out to be lonely
Glad you noticed that my friend - sharp ears and a good read!
- Lightbringer
Excellent story well done ✔ telling it. The pictures 📸 in the story were fantastic.
Thank you kindly!
- Lightbringer
"Beautiful, idealic, quiet"
That voice has all the traits that were said. Absolutely enchanting. Wow 👌
Thank you so much ! That's so kind!
- Lightbringer
Hades isn't gonna be so happy when Adonis shows up. Lovely video by the way.
Wait why?
@@The_Shield_Piercer Let's just say Adonis became a side piece to Persephone. (Because there are a lot of versions on how that story went).
Awesome, admittedly I lost interest in the channel when you jumped from Greek mythology to Norse because a lot of tales I wanted to hear weren't done. I'm happy to see you're still doing Greek mythology though. Cheers!
They were never going to stop doing Greek but they announced they were going to expand their reach on different mythologies which I am ABSOLUTELY here for especially when they start on Egyptian or Chinese. There's more than just Greek and some are even more interesting lol
@@jaidamwhi4589 Υou have your opinion and we have ours. Βoth are respected.
@@Dimor-pl7oy gotcha bro, I wasn't tryna be negative or anything I was simply saying that there are more mythologies that are just as interesting...I used to only be into Greek myself but learned to get outta the box and experience other ones
@@jaidamwhi4589I respect your opinion.
Let them tell what tales they like.
I can only imagine how the family dinners could be like with Hades, Korre/Persephone, and Demeter
'Can you pass the salt?'
'Could you at least have ASKED to court my daughter before you kidnapped her?'
'It was MY choice to go Mom!'
'You had no idea what you were getting into child!'
'Hey uh... salt?'
'Oh right silly me.'
@@singletona082 Ha! Nice.
😂😂😂
@@singletona082 What if Poseidon dropped by?
I was surprised when this story wasn't told during your initial greek myth run, but i knew eventually you guys would do it. ❤
Hope you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching, the greek myths are still running!
Still plenty to come my friend!
- Lightbringer
I'm enjoying this take on tales I thought I knew.
Honestly, the greek stories are my favorite but THIS is some of your best work ❤❤❤
Wow, thank you so much!

Μεγάλη Πέμπτη.
Δοξάζω θυμάμαι λατρεία λατρεύω δοξάζω ικανοποιώ την αγάπη sarv και προσεύχομαι στους αιώνιους αθάνατους Θεούς και θεές του Ολύμπου για την Ειρήνη μου αγάπη και προστασία.
Είμαι μέσα.
You did the lore proud. I have been waiting for this ever since Hades in the Underworld, and you don't disappoint. I can't wait for the next one.
Thank you so much ! I'm so glad you liked it, and there are plenty of stories still to come !!
- Lightbringer
This is very similar to my own interpretation of this story Demeter causing famen and hades being called the bad guy due to her wrath, meanwhile persephone was tired if being trapped and in love with hades. This is a very good interpretation you did the myth justice. You even managed to get hades raven in there. So good
Ooooo I'm very happy to hear you enjoyed our version!
Tales and Myths can be interpreted in many different ways!
- Lightbringer
I have long awaited the telling of this Tale by you two, and i am so glad it has funally arrived....
I hope it met or exceeded expectations !
- Lightbringer
@@livingmythology1405 while at first I waited Her to speak, through you( you are the female narrator, correct. You are very talented btw), I admit at first I was disappointed. But upon short reflection, the choice, Mothers palpable presence was there. It was just the perfect choice. For She is still there, as immediate and appreciable as She is to we who follow Her, and call ourselves Her Children, know Her to be. Yes, it was done well and right. Thank you, many times. Blessings upon you and yours...and even better...Mother approves and is glad of Heart for this...I look forward as always for your future entries. And in closing may I say...I feel you as Styx to be a brilliant performance, truly..I Abide, your admirer, S.🌒❤️🔥🌘
Most underrated channel on the internet
Polynesian mythology would be really interesting to see as you continue to expand your content!
Noted! Will add it to the ever-growing list!
- Lightbringer
Here I was thinking the Greek Saga was over. Sir Baldermort And Lady Lightbringer, this was another fantastic piece of mythology brought to life. And Hades! He looked so good! The facial animations are looking awesome 😎 Looking forward to more fantastic work as you have always done, and looking forward to seeing your channel get the recognition it deserves 😎
More to come! No - Greek is still on going! We just wanted to branch out further - explore different gods !
But we won't forget the greeks !
Thank you so much - we are trying new things and I'm so glad it's working out!
Thank you for watching and joining our journey into all sorts of mythological stories!
- Lightbringer
This is one of those myths that’s so interesting to see how people look at. From more modernizations, to deep dissections of it (how much is it Hades fault, how much Zues, so on). I am eager to see your take on it.
Hope you liked it!
- Lightbringer
Great job on this story. It puts a completely different spin on what happened between Hades and Persephone. Not quite a victim, but a willing participant.
It may be a little different than the original - I still think the original myth was more about the seasons than Hades kidnapping ! Thank you for watching and commenting!
- Lightbringer
A perfect way to end the weekend, thank you Lightbringer!
My pleasure! Thank you for watching!
- Lightbringer
The various interpretations of this narrative are fascinating. From further updates to thorough analyses of it. Your thoughts on it are much anticipated.
I hope you enjoyed !
It is a fascinating tale to delve into !
- Lightbringer
One of my all time favorite Greek mythology stories
The algorithm requires engagement
Responding the algorithm
Thank you my friend!
And thank you too !
One of the most interesting stories from Greek mythology. Thank you for bringing this story to life for us.
You're very welcome and I'm very happy to hear you enjoyed it !
- Lightbringer
Great video - I remember reading about the grape of Persephone when I was younger. I think that this version gives everybody a lot more depth, especially the Goddess of Spring. I like the idea of it being her decision and the associated personal growth as opposed to just being a doe-eyed baby goddess with a touchy uncle
Love these. Like seriously I’ve watched every video on this channel 7 times 😅
You're the best! Thank you so much for watching and it means a lot you enjoy our channel so much!
Hope you enjoy all the tales to come!
- Lightbringer
Loved it
One of my favourite myths! Excellently done! Would love to see the myth of Io.
Great suggestion! It's already on the list!
Thank you for watching and enjoying this video my friend!

Can you do a video about Adnis, Aphrodite and Persephone?
I shall add it to the list!
- Lightbringer
Amazing video, one of the favorite myths of Ancient Greece linked to one of the most mysterious and deeply spiritual practice .
Thank you so much - we try our best :)
- Lightbringer
I can’t wait to listen to this one
Thank you once more for the incredible production
Thanks for listening ! And thank you for commenting ! It means a lot that you noticed and took a moment to appreciate it - makes it all worth it when folks like you enjoy it!
- Lightbringer
MORE Norse mythology!!! I love the greek stuff but the gods of the north sing in my blood and i love their stories soo many good ones.
The story of Hades and Persephone reminds me again how wild Greek mythology is. Amazing job with this portrayal and narration!
Thank you so much my friend - We're very happy to hear you enjoyed our version!
- Lightbringer
So well done
Aww thank you!
- Lightbringer
I honestly just discovered your channel 2 weeks ago and loving it. I love mythology in itself but particularly Greek. Your doing great job. Bit of advice. I like Norse but finish Greek as it's more popular outside of Thor of course lol. Keep up great work
HI kkiwi, Thank you so much for all of your generosity. It means the world to a tiny channel like ours.
We intend to have plenty of mythologies eventually. But we will be integrating them one by one and then releasing videos about them all. Yes, Greek is more popular, but 'finishing it' would take years or even decades. And that would make it a chore, not a joy. Variety is the spice of life non? :)
Please do the story of Orpheus next! Your take on it and unique telling would do it justice as did this one ^_^
Already on the list but will try and get it done sooner !
- Lightbringer
Nice one LB!
Appreciate it!
- Lightbringer
Demeter is the epitome of a possessive controlling mother. Her unwillingness to let her daughter go is the exact thing that drove her away. Of course, Persephone still loves her, but she longs to live her own life. And in typical possessive parent fashion, Demeter makes it everyone else's problem and refuses to relent until she gets her way. I love how you told this tale. I love the interpretation that Hades is a proud and noble king, and Persephone is his beautiful, regal and fair Queen. They have a real genuine bond, and even Demeter cannot break that. As always, keep up the wonderful work.
Yours Truly
Zachariah
Demeter, in the myths, isn’t controlling. Her daughter was kidnapped and was greenlighted by Zeus as some arranged marriage. Neither Demeter nor Persephone had any say in arrangements. While Persephone was elevated to a King and has arguably the most stable relationship by Greek mythology standards, it costs her time and proximity to her mother.
@kaykay8855
There are various interpretations of the myths. Some say she was spirited away, others that she left with Hades of her own accord. Some say she was tricked, and others she ate them voluntarily. The only constant was Demeter's punishing the world.
@@zachariahmousa7652I wouldn’t say punishing. The myth, the earliest version of it, reflects a common/well known fact in the Greek world, mothers and daughters had little to no say in who they married. The earliest version of the myth, Hades kidnapped Persephone with permission from Zeus mainly because he knew that Demeter would refuse, so he authorized her kidnapping. Demeter’s grief isn’t her punishing the world it’s her mainly feeling powerless that she couldn’t protect her daughter. Despite later reimagining, Persephone and Hades’s story isn’t a love story, it’s a kidnapping, their story in the mythos is called the ‘Rape of Persephone’. Neither Persephone and Demeter has much agency, Persephone wasn’t allowed to leave until the worried of a barren world threatened the Gods.
@kaykay8855
The word rape (harpage in Greek) in the context of ancient Greek meant the abduction or eloping of women for marriage purposes without their guardian's consent. This is where the father giving away the bride came from. He is entrusting the life and safety of his daughter to the care of another man. Persephone may or may not have had a say in it, but it is true Demeter did not. The other thing to consider is that even in the original myths, Hades and Persphone did love each other, and Hades was always faithful to her. One of the difficulties in understanding these myths is looking at them with their original social, cultural, and linguistic factors taken into consideration and leaving out modern-day vocabulary and moral standards.
Thanks for this Lightbringer and Mr. B. As always a pleasure. As ever greetings from Kilkenny on this Monday morn.
Thanks for listening! Thank you for your continued support my friend!
We send our greeting back to you in Kilkenny!

I love this story:)
Jupp, stranger danger
Also i usually only listen to these but I decided to watch a bit of this one and saw the eerie talking heads. I guess we can welcome Living Mythology to the Uncanny Valley 😂
exelent!
Thank you! Cheers!

Good work. you have a beautiful voice. I liked how you portrayed the devouring mother. And using a flower as the call to adventure. It was fun thank you.
Thank you so much!

I was waiting for this one, beautiful story.
Thanks for listening, I hope it met your expectations and you enjoyed it !!

Another successful narrative!!!! You never cease to amaze me!!! I’m always ecstatic when I see another new Greek tale has arrived. Thank you so much for these amazing stories…..it is a wonderful treat for me. I still listen again the previous wonderful stories. I never tire of them. ❤❤❤
Thank you so much my friend - I am glad to hear it !
- Lightbringer
Ah so I finally found out where the saying "You only had ONE job!" comes from ! Ha Ha!
❤❤❤❤❤❤amen
When I was a kid like you always saw the personification of Hades to be kind of a Satan character but getting older and realizing that all of those early stories where it was like Zeus and Hera having this perfect relationship was actually not really accurate but then you look at the Hades and Persephone and you can look at it in one way with like this story where Persephone had a mind and intelligence and was able to make decisions for herself in Hades was you know trying to woo a woman by asking his brother for help there's only ever been two people that Hades ever like did anything really bad dude and those guys were trying to come steal his wife . I said it before and I'll say it again when my children are old enough that I want to introduce them to the Greek mythologies these stories living mythology is the way I'm going to do it
I am so happy you liked our version of the story - as you said - it's not hera and Zeus that have a good relationship, in the myths its Persephone and Hades that don't cheat on each other.
And wow - that's incredibly high praise, to be a child's first introduction to myths ! Show them the old myths when they're old enough too, but I hope we can inspire some passion for gods and legends!!!
- Lightbringer
One of my favorite stories
I hope you enjoy it !
- Lightbringer
This one was a hard listen. I felt for Hades...
Hades has a tough time of it sometimes, but at least he's happy now eh?
- Lightbringer
Beautiful story, fab narrative x
Thank you so much!
- Lightbringer
A slight variation on my favorite take on this tale. I love the depiction of Demeter as a possessive mother, keeping her daughter isolated to be hers and hers alone.
Knowing her brothers is it possession or protection
@@ladybugmoenning2559 I'm sure she sees it as the former, but in this marvelous take on the tale, it's clearly the latter. She saw the girl as her possession.
You can’t protect her for eternity, and what’s the point when the gods are immortal.
Yay! So excited to watch the new video. Just got all tucked in a comfy, let’s get it!
Yay! Thank you!
I hope you enjoyed it my friend - and I do so appreciate your comments !
( Here and on the shorts - all algorithm nudges help!)
- Lightbringer
@@livingmythology1405 aw you are so welcome! Thank you for remembering me! I really do love the videos, I’d love to hear the labors of herakles but I can imagine that might be a big task! I find Greek mythology fascinating and I love your style and take on the mythology!
Demeter's mother is Rhea.... Not Gaea... Gaes is her grandmother as Rhea is a titaness daughter of Gaea
Oh...heck yeah. Sweet!!!!!
✨I am Persephone✨Daughter of 🌻Dimitra🌻GAIA🌻✨Queen of the Underworld✨OF HADES✨
👍🤩
❤👋
As ever and always I love your take on these stories. Honestly I'm not sure other than Dresden files of any take on the story of Persephone that has portrayed Hades as anything other than a kidnapper and Demiter's cagingg of her daughter til that point Just.
A fitting tale for the coming spring.
Thank you my friend - I am very happy to hear you enjoyed the perspective we took :)
- Lightbringer
You truly are your fathers daughter. Very well done Lightbringer...there's not much left for Lord Baltemort to teach you. Your inflection is perfect for creating comedy and tenderness while he is the master of using inflection to create suspense and conflict. How about some Sumrian mythology in 2024? Love you both!!!!
Thank you so much - it means a lot that you think I'm doing well - I still have a lot to learn from old Balders but we're getting there!
I shall add Sumerian Myths to our ever-growing list ! And Thank you for your continued support my friend!
I hope you enjoy the stories to come!
- Lightbringer
I'm gonna dread waiting until work tomorrow to listen to this. I was honestly worried you wrapped up the Greeks with the typhon "closing"
Complete art my friends
You guys are an amazing storytelling team
Hope you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching - our team of two appreciate it a lot!
- Lightbringer
Hades was a God , Hades was Zuese"s brother so, why would they have a problem with a God? Hade"s ruled the underworld.
Demeter didn't want her daughter to marry anyone - any god at all ! That's why it's a problem :)
- Lightbringer
It is said by some, that Kore said unto Her Mother" Why would i return with you, for i am content. Hades is a good and loving husband, he does not shame Me with a roving gaze anove i am but your Daughter, here i am Queen, and my Husbands kingdom never shall pass away, dor all xome ro it eventually..."
The greek gods are a bit nasty
The narration is formidable and a joy to listen to (´ ∀ ` *)
Really?! You're too kind! Thank you so so much! (´ ∀ ` )
- Lightbringer
Is that toxic mother kind i hate so much 😡
Demeter should not be depicted as old woman... Goddess didnt grow old I guess
Please keep doing Greek myth not viking stuff I stopped listening to this channel bc they changed myths
We haven’t stopped Greek Myth just broadened our horizons - expansion!
I hope you like the Greek tales to come!
- Lightbringer
Bite your tongue or incurr the wrath of THOR!!! seriously though the Greek stuff Is great and I've learned a lot more stuff that before but I'm a lover of norse mythology, so we'll have to be at odds on this one
demeter would be Gais granddauggter, not daughter
You're absolutely correct! Thank you for correcting me - Rhea is Gaia's daughter, of course Demeter would be her granddaughter!
I promise to be more mindful next time, but alas we are but two humans and so mistakes will slip through!
- Lightbringer
I absolutely love the way you guys tell these stories. You make them come alive in a way I've not seen before. I've always loved Pursephone, this, and his taking over the underworld, makes me love Hades as well.
I'm so happy you like our stories and they do feel alive to you! That's always been the goal - and I love Hades, so it's great to get people to see a different side of him, maybe even like him too!
Thank you for watching!
